Pluralization of Noun

In Melo, nouns pluralize in two different ways. It depends on whether the noun is nominative or accusative. In both cases, nouns pluralize with the suffix “-ita”. It forms by these steps:

  1. The plural marker is “-ita”. The plural marker is added after the root noun.
  2. Depending on the case, a noun must take a case marker as suffix after the -ita. For nominative the case marker is “-y” and for accusative the case marker is “-a”. The plural marker(-ita) is inseparable from the case marker (-y and-a).
  3. If there is a vowel at the end of the noun, it will be removed. For instance, kana(dog) become kan-ita-ya(dogs). And if there is consonant, it will stay the same. For instance, šooš (snake) stays šooš-ita-y(snakes).
